Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions (CASEL.org). As part of the EPISD 2020 strategic plan, we partnered with the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) to strategically implement school-wide SEL. As of 2020-21, all of our campuses are participating in the school-wide implementation of SEL.

CASEL’S SEL FRAMEWORK: What Are the Core Competence Areas & Where Are They Promoted?

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development. SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.SEL advances educational equity and excellence through authentic school-family-community partnerships to establish learning environments and experiences that feature trusting and collaborative relationships, rigorous and meaningful curriculum and instruction, and ongoing evaluation. SEL can help address various forms of inequity and empower young people and adults to co-create thriving schools and contribute to safe, healthy, and just communities.

MARCO DE SEL DE CASEL: ¿Cuáles son las áreas de competencias principales y dónde se promueven?

El aprendizaje social y emocional (SEL) es una parte integral de la educación y el desarrollo humano. SEL es el proceso mediante el cual todos los jóvenes y adultos adquieren y aplican los conocimientos, las habilidades y las actitudes para desarrollar identidades saludables, manejar las emociones y lograr metas personales y colectivas, sentir y mostrar empatía por los demás, establecer y mantener relaciones de apoyo, y hacer decisiones responsables y afectuosas. SEL promueve la equidad y la excelencia educativa a través de asociaciones auténticas entre la escuela, la familia, y la comunidad. Eso establece entornos y experiencias de aprendizaje que presentan relaciones de confianza y colaboración, un plan de estudios e instrucción rigurosa y significativa, y una evaluación continua. SEL puede ayudar a abordar diversas formas de inequidad y capacitar a los jóvenes y adultos para co-creen escuelas prósperas y contribuyan a comunidades seguras, saludables, y justas.
